I have been looking at Yuasa and Exide who offer replacement (CCA760 x 70ah) for about £107 with a 4 year warranty. It sounds like they are the same. Does it then matter which I chose. Also because it has a second support battery (their words), does this need changing also ? Blimey I am going wish I stayed with my Toyota Avensis at this rate.
Price up the volvo batt, you may be surprised in a good way.
Yuasa are much better than exide, though exide arent bad.
Look on www.tayna.co.uk excellent company.
You may need the support battery.
IMPORTANT! Stop-start use different batteries, agm or summat else, efb? Have you priced up the right battery? The price you stated sounds like a lead-acid price not an agm/efb battery...
